This is the acrylic that will make up the front of the Temple. I took a saw to it!

I continued with the acrylic, sawing out the shapes I needed to make the frame of the case with a jigsaw. I took my time, pencilled the cuts and measured carefully.

I decided that the engraving would be like this: inner side of the acrylic spraypainted black, cuts made with my Dremel-clone on the inner side in a kind of triangular pattern, and on the outside, I’ll engrave the wisdom of Kane:
